Patricia Routledge's genius contd.: notice in this how Rex Smith and Kevin Kline concentrate on the words, and lock their faces still in that concentration. Routledge, on the other hand, expresses every thought with its distinct quality. Look how she uses her eyes, her lips, the direction of her glances - she is alive with the words. She is uttering them as living, present tense thought - rather than delivering a pre-written lyric. It's quite something.
